Easily the top choice we made.

Do yourself a favour and just book David now. I never post reviews but definitely need to highlight how good he was. After meeting him on Zoom you can tell he is an incredibly nice person, however only after working with him do you realise how professional and talented he is. He is constantly booked, but even then he took time out of his own life to come see our venue, to get a better idea of shots he would take (we didn’t even ask him to do this). On the day he was there early and was always made sure he wasn’t intruding or taking too much time from us, and when it comes to his photography, it was excellent as well. One picture in particular looks like a genuine painting. In short, if we had another wedding he would be the first item booked on the list.

We highly recommend

We highly recommend David who photographed our wedding in August ’24. Photos are amazing, it is incredible how David captured so many beautiful moments in those few hours he was with us. Looking through the photos was like having our beautiful day over and over again, discovering about lovely moments we could not see on the day. It is incredible how he blended with the crowd; we hardly knew he was there. We will treasure those beautiful photos forever. The communication was brilliant right from the start, the right amount of information given to us at the right time, David was very professional and kind during the planning and on the day. Many people who attended really do not like photos of them being taken, but they all felt very comfortable thanks to David’s professionalism, kind and patient personality. Thank you, David, the words are not enough. We are looking forward for David to capture more beautiful moments when we have the event in the future.

Wedding 1/6/24

We received our digital wedding photo album yesterday and to say we are over the moon with our photos is an understatement!
We had a home visit from David a few weeks before the weekend to get to know one another and to discuss our expectations of how we wanted our photos to look on the day.. relaxed and informal.
We tapped into David’s vast wealth of knowledge and experience and took his advice throughout the day to get the most from our guests and ultimately the very best photographs.
On the day, David was very professional, incredibly patient when we deviated from our agreed list of family groups and was unobtrusive amongst our guests.
He worked non stop and took the most beautiful, natural photos of us all.
The quality and content of the photos are second to none.
All of our guests commented on how hard he worked and he seemed to take hundreds (if not thousands) of photos of us all.
We paid David extra to stay later in the evening and we were so glad we did, as by that time everyone had let their hair down and were busting some shapes on the dance floor.
All of which have been recorded for posterity!!
I would have no hesitation in recommending David to be your wedding photographer.
The epitome of Calm ( very much needed on a stressful day) full of advice before the day, heaps of experience, excellent quality photographs and most importantly incredible value for money..
thank you so much David for helping us relive our wonderful day over and over again!
We can’t thank you enough x

Excellent service, amazing photos!

David was so professional yet lovely to deal with from the start. Got to our wedding venue early to set himself up. He was personable with all the family and guests. All that came into contact with him said he was so patient. The photos came out FABULOUS, bridal magazine worthy in their quality. David knew how to capture the spontaneous moments and he has given us so many emotional as well as humorous memories. We would 100% use David again for future events and also recommend him to all our friends and family! Thank you David! Salima and Eliot

Incredible memories captured

David was amazing from start to finish, leading up to the day we had great communication and on the day he was fantastic, capturing so many candid moments that reflect the absolute fun and joy of our wedding, a lot of the time we didn’t even know he was there! He set up and organised all of the group shots we asked for as well and spent the morning whilst we were getting ready taking wonderful pictures of the venue as it was also transformed into our dream. The images are beautiful and we couldn’t of asked for better. His service was professional and relaxed and everyone felt totally at ease with him. And he is generally just a really lovely person! Our gallery was ready super quickly and we have had so much pleasure looking through it with friends and family and he captured our day perfectly. I would absolutely recommend David to anyone

Fantastic photography

I would really recommend David as he has an incredibly pleasant and calming demeanor. David made us feel very comfortable and was very laid back. Even with our small number of guests he was able to blend in and take some lovely candid photos as well as many beautiful group/couple shots. It's so hard to pick favourites, as there's so many beautiful memories captured.

Great photographer

David is not only a brilliant photographer, he made the booking experience and photos on the day so easy. He is very accommodating and really got to know what we wanted on the day (despite us being a little too laid back about it ;)
He is amazing value for money. I found other photographers tried to sell me endless packages but David was straightforward and honest
Definitely book him- he’s amazing
